Idol finales by the numbers

Now that Season 9 is in the books for American Idol, we can start reminiscing about what a mediocre season it was! The opening night back in January had an increase in ratings, but people steadily began tuning out from then on, ending up with Idol's lowest ratings ever, including this week's finale. In case you're wondering how many people have tuned in over the years to watch the American Idol finale shows, here ya go! Plus a fun reminder of all the runner-ups. Before you look, how many can you remember??
